Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility. The primary suite is positioned at the front of the home and features a spacious closet and private en-suite spa-like bath. The additional bedrooms offers excellent options for guests, family, or a home office. The third bedroom opens directly to a private upper-level deck, creating a seamless extension of the living space. A beautifully renovated hall bath with a glass-enclosed shower and conveniently located upper-level laundry complete the floor. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, 1317 Emerald Street NE blends timeless Victorian architecture with modern systems and finishes, including updated mechanicals, electrical, plumbing, and appliances. The result is a move-in-ready Capitol Hill home that offers the character of a historic rowhouse with the ease of contemporary living. Perfectly positioned in Capitol Hill, the home is moments from Lincoln Park, Stanton Park, Lovejoy Park, Eastern Market, Union Station, the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the restaurants, cafés, nightlife, and neighborhood conveniences of the H Street Corridor. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Metro access, and countless local favorites are all within easy reach. Combining historic charm, modern updates, exceptional natural light, and two private outdoor spaces, 1317 Emerald Street NE presents a rare opportunity to own a quintessential Capitol Hill residence in one of Washington’s most walkable and sought-after neighborhoods.
